Leading Actor Sparks Backlash Over Comments on His Appearance
Go Soo is facing backlash after dismissing compliments about his looks on a variety show.
The controversy began when Go Soo appeared on Chef & My Fridge. Despite being nicknamed “Govid” for his stunning visuals — a play on his name and Michelangelo’s David statue — Go Soo claimed compliments about his handsomeness were just polite, not honest.
He said he needs to take 500 selfies to get one good shot.
His comments surprised everyone. Other cast members objected, but Go Soo stood firm. This even led Kim Poong to joke the actor lacked self-awareness.
Online communities are now mixed. Some ridicule his humility, others express annoyance.
Screenshots from theqoo show reactions like:
“Of all the things I’ve heard this year, this one p*ssed me off the most.”
“I’m not just saying this to be polite… I’m being completely serious. I’m not lying one bit. You’re really handsome. You’re Govid.”
“You can’t take a good selfie because you lack the desperation.”
More comments:
“David himself came down and is now saying whatever.”
“He’s still so handsome.”
“Oh, so you do know how to take a selfie? Then why won’t you ever post them?”
“Please don’t make me cuss you out.”
Go Soo’s refusal to accept praise for his visuals is causing quite a stir. Fans and netizens are watching closely to see if he’ll respond.
